Tao Yuxuan paused instantly.
Shi Xi also saw Xu Ziqing and felt somewhat embarrassed.
What's it like to talk badly about someone behind their back and then get caught talking about it to their face?
Tao Yuxuan, as expected of someone who has weathered many storms, continued without changing her expression: "When my dad was rich a few years ago, he was surrounded by a bunch of women, all thinking about marrying a rich man!"
Shi Xi, unaware of how much Xu Ziqing had overheard, changed the subject, saying, "I think this dress is quite nice."
...
Xu Ziqing was shopping when she heard someone across the street saying things like "vain" and "marrying a rich man," so she looked over.
And so, I saw Shi Xi.
Shi Xi was wearing a fisherman's hat and large, non-prescription black-rimmed glasses, dressed casually and plainly. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't recognize her at all.
However, Xu Ziqing recognized Shi Xi immediately after they met and lived and ate together for many days.
"Xixi? You're here to buy clothes too!" Xu Ziqing exclaimed with delight, stepping forward to praise, "You have such good taste! This dress you picked is beautiful and will definitely suit you perfectly!"
Tao Yuxuan and Shi Xi both looked bewildered.
"Yes, really?" Shi Xi handed the clothes to the shop assistant and said, "Wrap it up."
Xu Ziqing pushed past Tao Yuxuan and stood next to Shi Xi. "You have a great figure, you look good in anything. How about we go get coffee later? It's on me."
Tao Yuxuan, who had been pushed aside, regained her senses.
This is an attempt to curry favor with her future sister-in-law!
“Great! I’m tired from shopping. Shi Xu works nearby, so I’ll have him treat us to coffee.” Tao Yuxuan smiled mischievously.
When Shi Xi heard the title "Brother Shi Xu", her eyes widened in surprise.
It's completely unimaginable that such a cloying term could come out of Tao Yuxuan's mouth.
"What's your relationship with time?" Xu Ziqing immediately became alert.
Tao Yuxuan feigned innocence, "It's nothing, we're just childhood friends who've played together since we were little."
This is what you call "nothing much"?!
Xu Ziqing's internal alarm bells went off, but she maintained her smile and said, "Hello, I am Shi Xu's fiancée, Xu Ziqing. How strange, I've never heard of you before."
Shi Xi coughed, signaling Tao Yuxuan to stop adding to the drama.
Tao Yuxuan smiled and said, "Brother Shixu has never mentioned you to me either."
The two locked eyes, their gazes blazing with intense fighting spirit.
*
When Shi Xu arrived at the coffee shop, he saw three women sitting at a table.
Headache.
Three women make a drama, and none of these three women are easy to mess with!
The seat reserved for him was also under intense competition.
Shixi, Tao Yuxuan.
Xu Ziqing, Time Sequence.
Shi Xu felt out of place in this place.
"Brother Shixu, you're finally here! I ordered your favorite iced Americano, sugar-free and dairy-free." Tao Yuxuan began her act.
The timeline is already starting to run out of control.
He simply can't drink coffee without milk and sugar!
"Thank you, I brought you your favorite herb-infused wood chips." Shi Xu placed the paper bag on the table with a gentle smile.
Seeing how familiar the two were, Xu Ziqing sensed a hint of danger and interrupted, "Brother Shi, why have you never mentioned Miss Tao to me?"
As Shi Xi ate her vanilla cream puff, she thought to herself that this was truly a battle of wits between masters.
"Our parents don't approve, so we've always dated in private." Shi Xu started rambling, thinking about the script Tao Yuxuan had sent him.
"Are you two dating?" Xu Ziqing gripped her cup tightly.
